Tutor: Marie-Therese Wisniowski

PreambleThis blogspot exhibits many of my students outputs from a variety of workshops. There are one, two and five day workshops as well as workshops that have a different focus. Nevertheless, it always surprises me how much I learn from my students and how enthusiastic they are to learn and so for your convenience, I have listed the workshop posts below.

IntroductionTo celebrate the Print Council of Australia’s 50 Years in 2016, Art Quill Studio in Arcadia Vale, NSW, Australia will be holding a series of workshops during 2016 tutored by Marie-Therese Wisniowski. The workshops have been structured so that they can be attended as individual workshops or as an on-going series. The workshop program will start with basic printmaking techniques and advance to mastering complex multiple imaging/overprinting relationships and techniques. The techniques are suitable for printing on fabric and paper substrates.

Today's post highlights participants outcomes from Workshop No. 2 in the 2016 Art Quill Studio Workshop Program - Image Dreamings: Basic Silk Screen Printing Part I - and gives links to workshops so that you can view past students outcomes. For Australian enquiries please email me at Marie-Therese. For overseas enquiries these workshops may be held in overseas venues provided that there are enough participants per workshop (10-15 participants) and that within each country a sufficient number of workshops can be organized in order to make the journey cost-effective (5-10 workshops). Please email me at Marie-Therese to initiate a discussion on the feasibility of such an overseas venture.

In person Master Classes are also available. For more details of these Master Classes email me at Marie-Therese. For Master Class outcomes see - Barbara Scott. On-line classes will be available in 2017.

One Day Workshop Synopsis - Image Dreamings: Basic Silk Screen Printing Workshop - Part IThe one day "Image Dreamings: Basic Silk Screen Printing Workshop - Part I" was held at Art Quill Studio in Arcadia Vale, NSW, Australia on the 9th May 2016.

Participants learnt how to create unique and personalized printed imagery using the very versatile silk screen. Participants learnt the basic principles of silk screen printing and were introduced to techniques such as ombre printing, created a temporary stencil, printed positive & negative images and created a two color printed image. No prior experience using a silk screen was needed for this class.

Below are outputs created during the workshop by participant/quilt artist Judi Nikoleski.

Thanks for your kind comments Irene. Judi worked hard to create her lovely printed samples . . . I was delighted with her final pieces as was she ! It will be exciting to see how she translates some of these techniques in her art practice.
